HE-219 V-5 "UHU"

[maverick728470]

This will be a HE-219 V-5 "UHU" as to what I got off Google. The first prototype 219's were assigned the V types until the production model of the owl was to put into service around 1943. Some early model 219's that were a V version were painted in the Nightfighter paint schemes. Mine is for the V-5 version that has a four bladed prop as to the later versions with the three bladed ones later on. Used the following to get started on this project:

 

- Prop blades from the 109 new tool kits.

- Resin spinner that I got from Dave Robbins.

- Scratchbuilt the main gear legs.

- Nose strut is from the 335 kit as to the first release of the kit from combat.

- Added Jerry Rutman cockpit resin detail set.

- Wheels and tires as to the plans are from the JU-88 Pro-Modeler kit. They fit the plans just right.

- The twin rudders are made of bondo as to the plans from the kit.

- Used the resin cowls from jerry rutmans detail set.

 

Waiting for replacement canopy from Combat Models since the one I thought I could use had yellowed very badly.
